This is a diary of a 10 year old.5.15am - I woke up hearing the voices of my mother and my
brother. I wandered around my bedroom for a little while and then tiredly made
my way into the living room. I slouched down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
My mind concentrated on it, my brother thought I was hypnotised.

6.45am - I stumbled into the kitchen and poured
Frosties into a bowl and stuffed my mouth full with them. I helped myself to
a drink of orange juice and went to brush my teeth. I accidentally used the
hairbrush but soon noticed it.

8.35am - I quickly got dressed into my uniform
and got my bags together, got my swimming kit and rushed to the car. We drove
2 miles to school. "Phew, just in time." We go into school at 9.00am.
We do register and dinners. "Mmm, what shall I have?"

9.10am - We go for assembly - Mrs B__ read us
a story about a shepherd and his 100 sheep. At the end we sang a song called
'Together.'

9.35am - We all come back in from assembly and
did a few tests. The first was easy but the second was harder. "I don't
know this one."

10.45am - "Not the bell - it was just getting
to be fun." "Mr C__'s class, go in please," says Mrs B__.
